UMUC Art Exhibition Showcases Work of James Hilleary

Visit our newest exhibition Modernism: James Hilleary and Color on view beginning Monday, December 3, 2012, through Sunday, February 3, 2013, in the Arts Program Gallery. Hours are 9 a.m.-9 p.m. daily.

James Hilleary is a Maryland-based abstract colorist whose
geographical proximity to Washington, D.C., and artistic style propelled
him into a larger group of Washington Color School painters during the
late 1950s and the 1960s. A Renaissance man with deep knowledge of
architecture and music, Hilleary is best known for his commitment to
creating harmonious, expertly executed canvases in variations of a
signature style.

This exhibition features approximately 30 works in various sizes
from the past 50 years and includes paintings from each of Hilleary’s
signature series: Variations, Reflections, Petals, and Striae. It also
includes a selection of his more private drawings and experimental
sculpture.
